The Senators responded to Don Cherry's accusation they're in "love" with Europeans Thursday.

While pointing out on Coach's Corner during Game 1 of the Stanley Cup final Wednesday night the Los Angeles Kings have 15 Canadians and the Rangers have 12 on their roster, Cherry skewered the Senators and Maple Leafs.

He noted the Leafs are biased towards Americans on their roster.

"And where are now?" asked Cherry during his rant in the first intermission.

The Senators noted on their Twitter account Thursday that Cherry's math may have been a little off.

"Fun with numbers: The #Sens had 16 CDN-born players on their roster to end the season (20 played in games)," the club tweeted.

Then, the club's account added.

"We also had four Americans, three Swedes, two Czech players and one from France. #ButWhosCounting."

This is not the first time Cherry has used his stage to point out the fact he feels Canadian teams should have more homegrown talent on its roster."
